What we like about Motorola Moto G54 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Excellent value for money, often considered one of the best budget 5G phones available.
  • Smooth and reliable overall performance for daily tasks, with little to no lag in general use, especially the 8GB/12GB RAM variants.
  • Long-lasting battery life, with the 5,000mAh (or 6,000mAh for the Power Edition) capacity easily providing over a full day of moderate use.
  • Clean, nearly stock Android experience with minimal bloatware and useful Motorola-specific gestures.
  • High-resolution Full HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a significant improvement over its predecessor.
  • Decent main 50MP camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) that performs well in good lighting conditions and captures stable videos.
  • Sleek, lightweight, and premium-feeling design for its price point, including an option for a vegan leather finish.
  • Ample storage (up to 256GB) and expandable via microSD card.
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support.
  • 5G connectivity support, making it a future-proof choice for faster data speeds.
  • Fast and accurate side-mounted fingerprint reader.

What we don't like about Motorola Moto G54 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • The LCD display, while high-resolution and 120Hz, lacks the brightness of OLED panels and can be difficult to see in direct sunlight.
  • Camera performance, particularly in low-light conditions and with the macro or front cameras, is considered basic and falls short of more expensive phones.
  • unimpressive audio quality from the speakers at high volumes, with mushy mids and a lack of bass.
  • Slow battery charging speeds (20W or 33W max depending on model/charger) compared to many competitors.
  • Performance can stutter or the device may heat up during graphic-intensive gaming sessions.
  • Limited software update policy (typically one OS update and a few years of security patches) compared to other brands.
  • Lack of an ultra-wide camera lens, which is a common feature on many competing phones.
  • Face unlock feature is often inconsistent, especially in low light.
  • Made mostly of plastic, and while the design is good, it lacks a premium build quality.
  • Some users reported issues with network compatibility on certain US GSM networks.

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G54 5G (12GB + 256GB variant) is a budget-friendly 5G smartphone featuring a 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 octa-core processor and includes a substantial 6,000 mAh or 5,000 mAh battery (regional variations exist) with 33W TurboPower charging support. A main characteristic is its 50MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 16MP front camera. Pros include the ample RAM and storage configuration, smooth 120Hz display, clean, near-stock Android experience, and strong battery life. Cons can include the display's brightness being a bit low in direct sunlight, the camera performance being adequate but not exceptional in all conditions, and Motorola's limited software update policy (typically one major OS update).
